I’d like to mention the launch today of a new book Microsoft Private Cloud Computing written by a group of experts in this subject.

Take a look at the authors below. You probably know them from the community efforts they put in and might have read previous materials from them or heard them present.They bring a varied background and a mix of experiences and knowledge to the table needed to tackle any aspect of the private cloud and to a write complete book on the subject: hardware (servers, networking, storage), operating systems, hypervisors and the software stack.

• Aidan Finn (Virtual Machine MVP, @joe_elway)
• Patrick Lownds (Cloud and Datacenter Management MVP, @patricklownds)
• Damian Flynn (Cloud and Datacenter Management MVP, @damian_flynn)
• Hans Vredevoort (Ex-Failover Clustering MVP & recent Virtual Machine MVP, @hvredevoort,

Knowing these people and how busy they are this quite an achievement requiring a serious effort.  The technical reviewing was done by Kristian Nese (Cloud and Datacenter Management MVP,@KristianNese), who’s has been working on private clouds from day one.

Well done guys and thank you!
